I would think there is reality and there is fake news. Fake news may be partially based on reality to make it seem more plausible. Simulations belong to the later category.

splitting hairs.
and not looking at the ramifications of the split hairs.
Logic isn't just something said from Star Trek or used as a word to counter ..in an argument.
it's basis is built on natural laws that are proven to repeat the same results.


Postulating a creation theory of a "simulated universe" defines and sets parameters.
The place or space where the simulation resides or originates is experiential ..

the questions following that ...
the how, why, where, who, what and when,
the details can be guessed at,
hypothesized,
and with some accuracy estimated that it would be within parameters of a habitable context.
yet remains the realm of speculation. for participants of both spaces until "experienced", returned with proof and cross-verified by the participants of the respective other.

the very moment that the tenets of logic and natural law change and flip on their head
I will promptly join the Pastafarians

put a colander on mine,

and proclaim the flying spaghetti monster as the only true deity.

actually ...scrap that...
I have been contemplating joining the church of the holy meatball for a while now...
and the more madness I see develop over time on this planet...the more convinced I am in getting baptized in spaghetti sauce.

World it be possible to add thanks button to the offline? Is it possible to add that as a task for the cuncil to decide in the next or future meetings?

I dont see why not or do I miss some cruciial understanding why this isn’t possible?

Do we still have the manpower to do improvements here or are we stuck in the past/future.

wouldn't offline ..be the realm of "not signed in"?
Meaning ...
if your desire were just ..implemented without looking at the ramifications...
then everyone on the planet could effectively hit the thanks button?

I am not sure of the hidden process behind the gears and mechanisms of the site here...
But ..
and I am just guessing here...
...I think there may be a small conundrum with your request Dave...

and I think we may be indeed be stuck in what you call the past / future...

Or
as I like to call it (past + future =) "the Pasture"

Or maybe by "offline" he meant "off topic"?

geez...
if he means "off topic"
why that would be great for a bunch of us!
Since Dave, you (pichlo), juice, mscion and myself..we post here a lot!

Sure!
I vote yes!

I mean off-topic.

Are you sure your post belongs here? It seems off topic...
